I love the way I look. I'm fine with it. And if my body changes, I'll be fine with that.

I didn't want to be an actress at all, or famous even. I certainly enjoy acting now, absolutely. Time will tell whether or not I enjoy fame.

Acting is acting, and who you are will still remain to be who you are. You know, that part won't change it. It will change your wallet, you know? It'll change your life. It will open opportunities for you, but it's not going to change your character.

If you're writing on your own, each character is just you. It's just you.

I don't fixate on other people's opinions of my body.

When I say a girl like me, I bet you think I'm just talking about being fat. How dare you fat-shame me? You think I'm talking about being black? Racist. What makes you think I'm not talking about being smart? What? You don't think a fat, black girl can be smart or something? Fat-shaming racists like you make me sick.

If they hadn’t tried to break me down, I wouldn’t know that I’m unbreakable.
